Open-Response-Questions

Whilst traveling from the Cloud Temple you see a small Halfling, being harassed by two armed warriors. They appear to be trying to steal money from him, how does your character respond?

Climb up a hill and wait for the warriors to leave with his money. Once they leave, go meet the Halfling and ask him how much was stolen, and give him twice back.

Your character wanders into Alras, and comes across a small stall, behind which a well-dressed man is standing. He’s offering various wares, the merchant turns to you and says in a posh accent " 'ello there, what can I do you for today?" What is your character response?

Ask him "what did you say?", for the market is very loud. Once he manages to hear him, ask him if he has any work. if the shopkeeper says yes, he completes the job to the best of his ability and is allowed one free item. Even though there are various and expensive jewels and garments, he chooses a piece of pork.

Whilst wandering in the wilds, your character comes across a small hut, which looks abandoned. Inside it you see a chest containing a few iron bars, and a golden sword. How would your character respond?:

Leave everything, and add a coin. Once he’s done that, he walks out and is greeted by the owner of the hut. He is furious. He tells him he didn’t take anything and added a coin. The owner goes in and is elated. He walks out and tells him that he’s sorry for being mad at him.

Hungry and lost in the wilderness, you stumble across a small trading camp nestled among the forest, they greet you you in the common tongue, how do you respond?

Right once he gets in the camp, he is instantly attacked by a pack of wolves. The traders get very scared, tosses him a sword, and hides in their tents. he grabs the sword, and starts fighting the wolves. However, he’s no fighter and is quickly almost killed by the wolves. Right when he’s was about to be killed, one of the guards from a nearby town and kills the wolves. He picks him up and asks if he’s ok. He says yes, and the traders come out and say in their language "you may have any one item we have." the guard tells him what they said, and he points to small pile of food. With his food, he leaves happily.

You hear word that bandits occupy the road outside the town in which you have been staying. The town guard has gathered, and are asking for assistance to help eliminate them. The leader of the party is offering a reward for any who offer their support. How does your character act on this information?:

he goes to the guild of fighters and tells them. they reply "really? thanks for the information, if we come back well give you some of the reward." once they return from a glorius victory, they toss him a single coin. he thanks them happily and moves on.

Denied.

The amount of feedback that you recieve is largely dependent on the amount of effort you put into your application.

-Your definition of metagaming follows the correct concept but the context was wrong. Please re-write this in an RP senario.

-Your definition of powergaming is unclear in the first definition and the second definition is uncessary. Powergaming is not someone else making you punch them, but something similar. I suggest you check the Lord of the Craft wiki for more details.

-The format is wrong and missing colour. Please re-copy the format from the white box and do not delete anything [in these square brackets.]

-Your biography is by far too short, breaks lore and has villainous traits. Your family was not tried for treason (this is a bit too much of a game changer), you need to write 2 full paragraphs detailing you history and events which shaped your character, your characters appearance and personality. You have a lot of work to do. You cannot be an assassin, as this is a villainous role which you must apply for AFTER you are accepted.

-You need to expand upon the skill and tool questions as you need to detail exactly what your character has chosen and why it did it.

-You need to embed your skin.

Please embed your screenshot into your application. While this may take an extra few minutes, what is a few minutes to the countless hours you could potentially spend on this server! It is so easy too. Here is how it is done...

1.Go to the link you have provided (you have given an ample screenshot, so we shall skip the "Getting the image" and "Uploading it" phases) and right click on the image, select "Copy Image Location"

2.Go to your new application and select "Insert Image". It should have the icon of a little tree in a photoframe, and will be next to the "Inset Link" button, and underneath the "Text Color" button.

3.Paste into the textbox (as you have copied the image's location).

4.Select "Insert Image" and voilà! You are done.

-You need to expand your open response questions, add some more detail and instead of describing from your point of view, write it like a story from your character's point of view.

If you have any questions please send me a message.
